WIS PAPER REPRESENTED FS)R FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES' Ou Slogan: "Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925" Will Play Its Part. Minnesota is certain to benefit greatly by "Newspaper "Week" and from the enthusiasm and interest which has been aroused among the publishers of the state it now seems certain that the proposition, large one that it is, will be carried for ward to a successful consummation. The Pioneer aims to assist and en courage any enterprise or plan that might work for the bettering of city, county or state, and its columns will be filled with articles of a "boosting" nature during the week. The publishers of the Pioneer in vite residents of Bemidji and Bel trami county to contribute articles concerning agriculture, dairying and development in general, to be used during the week. It is an excellent opportunity for many to assist in a boosting scheme which will surely prove of great value to the county, as well as to the state". Let's all help. "Our own people may not know it," says Editor H. C. Hotaling of the White Earth Enterprise, in speaking of "Newspaper Week," "but the editors who believe firmly in the slo gan of 'Seeing America first,' are thoroughly wide awake to the fact that we have a state that ranks with the best. The editors have traveled widely in their various as sociation outings, and have been able to separate the wheat from the chaff. "Every country has its drawbacks but Minnesota has less of them than ,some others, and the man.who has his fortune to make will find that our soil brings returns that can be count ed upon, that our mines, our timber interests and manufacturing are all sources of wealth to the man who is willing to labor. "These facts will be ably set forth with the result that it is hoped to .send out a million Minnesota papers unfolding the story of the state's achievements and resources. It will fbe^a story of more than passing in terest and one which will .have for its result the bringing of many new residents to the state. "Time is ripe for such a boost. The old world is, all torn up with carnage and strife, and with the cessation of war many will be seeking new homes in this country. This boost on the part of the newspapers is to be given without money and without price as a fitting memorial to the semi-centen nial of the Minnesota Editorial as sociation, an organization which has been more than a passing factor in making the resources of the bread and butter state known to the world. "Besides this, the Minnesota edit ors contemplate additional boosting by bringing the National Editorial association to Minneapolis in 1917." wa ft?: Sfi EDITORIAL E^PIQSWS^f *_*.* I. p*-* We confess we .can't understand 7 -show some newspaper, men argue who -,-3 keep insisting that the last legisla ture "cut" the aid,torsch(ools when it appropriated $200,000 more Fk Siven for the same purposethan ,b %m^f^n -"^the legislature two years ago.Pine fe Jfe^niCity Pine Poker. 7 rAn editor of an exchange sarcasti cally remarks that he wants to buy a j3ack of flour, a pair of shoes and a hat and he is ready to receive /the lowest bids on the same.

TELLS OF PARCEL T- po$T CONDITIONS By LOWELL MELLETT Washington, Aug. 9."What do you want to talk about?" asked the postmaster general. "Politics." "Nothing doing," said the post master general, cordially. ."Why not?" "I absolutely can't, won't and shan't talk politics," said Mr. Burler son. "Try something else." "All* right, but why do they call you the politician of the cabinet?" "I suppose that is because you writing people have to coin cajtch phrases to describe, catalogue, clas sify and in some degree dramatize public men in the.public eye. That's only my opinion. You folks did it and ought to know why." "Speaking of politics" "We aren't speaking of politics," said the postmaster general. "what means this holler in the rural districts about restrictions of, the rural free delivery?" The postmaster general had. been at least half-interested in the pa pers on his desk, but now he swung sharply around in his chair. He ire moved his nose glasses, probably to save them from the heat of the sud den blaze in his eyes. "There has been no restriction! Who says there has been? A revi sion is under way which gives ser vice to many hundred thousands who are entitled to it, but heretofore have been denied it. This is being done without increasing the cost of the postal service and without taking away service from anyone wbo nowe,ted-, has it. It is accomplished with money saved by eliminating waste effort, extravagance, special favors and privileges. "Just for example: Parts of hun dreds of rural routes have been trav eled daily by two or more rural car riers. There are cases in which as many as six or seven carriers, each getting from $1,000 to $1,20,0 a year, have been going over the. same eight or ten miles of road. Politic^! This vicious duplication of service yas built up through a.serlesrof y:^arslby political influence. J?y cutting put these duplications we get a balance available for service^ jn territory that has long deserved it. "Do you know what retraces are? No. Well, I'll tell you. ^John Smith is a wealthy and influential farmer, living a half mile from a rural route. John uses his influence and gets an order requiring the rural carrier, to go the half mile to his,gate, deposit and collect mail and return to the main roada full mile of extra travel. Eliminating 26 such ,half mile retraces is equivalent to_eliinjln ating an unnecessary rural route and special privileges amounting to $1,-of,ruin. 200 a year. E "Between April 1 and July 10 {heESTABLISHED readjustment of the rural service and inauguration of motor vehicles ser vice left $821,754 for establishing new routes. Withjpart of this money 735 new routes have been ^putTnpp2 oration, serving 8 5",7 4& Additional families, or 428,740 additional per- sons." 7 "What of your fight with the rail^ roads?" r'-:: "I wouldn't call it a fight." "To an innocent newspaper reader it looks" "No, it isn't a fight. The ques tion of railway pay is purely and solely a business question to be* de cided on its merits after thorough sifting, deliberation and analysis] of the facts. The department desires to pay a rate reasonably compensa tory to the railroads, taking into consideration all of the conditions of the service. Mails are not a com modity of commerce, and hence the question of whether a different yard stick should be applied to them is a debatable one. I have always held that while the mails may not be a commodity of commerce, transporta tion undoubtedly is, and that when the postoffice needs transportation it should pay a fair price for it. "I realize that the commercial shipper has had grievances.iJlMany boards of trade have passed resolu tions declaring the present postal service lacks features of express^ ser vice which for them are absolutely indespensable, such as receipts.for parcels, indemnity to an unlimited amount for loss and damage and so on. Recently orders were issued granting the- mailer of a parcel the privilege of obtaining a receipt on payment of one cent and increasing the size limit from 72 inches to 84 inches, length and girth ojombined. '*$rhen do you expect to see the government ownership and postaliza tio ot! the teiejjraj^ and^eiephpn^ erals have been recommending?" was a flna^ question. *?That is hard to, .say,'" -rThe con- trol and operation of all vehicles for the transmission of ^intelligence sbQnJd beuin.the hands, ok/the^pv- ef^ent.

'*Whether this question appeals ao forcibly to the publie imagination that. Congress will, respond.at once, is* another question. Tersbnally7'I believe the time & not fajr away."?7 Motherland Efficiency. The efficiency experts appear to have overlooked, the most important field of all.

Scientific research shows that the sun has "a temperature of 4950 degrees' Aldebaran,' that' beautiful star in Taurus, 5150 degrees the polar star. 5200 degrees, and the dog star Sirius, 7500 degrees. This goes to show that the sun is undoubtedly one of the cold est of the stars. It also is evidence that absurdly low temperatures of the earth which living things here consider hot'are, as compared with the heaven ly bodies, regions of frigidity. Even the electric furnace, with its 3500 de gress ofheat, is as ice compared with temperatures in the dog star and the others*New York American. Northern Lights.
